The beautiful exhibition of fine, mostly South Indian pieces from the 17th through 19th centuries has been traveling for many years now. Readers in Asia will be happy about the next stop: Hong Kong. More than 150 exquisitely crafted objects will be at the Asia Society Hong Kong Center September 26, 2012 through January 6, 2013. Read about the past Atlanta visit here.

The Indian Zag looks better on screen than it did when I took a memo home from Lee Jofa. Perhaps it was a trick of the light, but I found the execution and the color lacking subtlety. Did not work at all in my place.

Hi Blue -- I suppose light and setting do greatly change how we experience fabric. I lived for a few days with memos of the Indigo, Lake, and Honey and found them to be nicely nuanced in my living room -- the softness I was hoping for. Perhaps this was due to all of my natural light, or maybe just my personal preference for these particular shades. (I shared a few more views on Instagram.)
